President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday endorsed Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the governorship election in Edo State.
Buharu gave the endorsement on Friday when he received Ize-Iyamu who was led to the Presidential Villa in Abuja by the APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
He presented the party’s flag to the APC candidate in the presence of two other governors elected on the party’s platform.
They are Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State, and Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State.

With this singular act of presenting APC flag to Pastor Ize-Iyamu, Mr President betrays his insincerity in his fight against corruption and his integrity as a man with zero tolerance for corruption. The immediate past Chairman of APC, Comrade Adam Oshiomole alleged Ize-Iyamu of corruption; he is not cleared of the allegation before being endorsed to represent the Party in the next Edo gubernatorial election. How do we reconcile that?
